Champagne arouses all of your senses; your eyes feast on vines flourishing up hillsides, you hear the tiny bubbles as you clink your glasses and enjoy the heavenly bouquet of each glass.

Visit the distinguished Champagne cellars, learn from the master as they reveal the magical process – governed by the strictest of rules – that transform the world’s most pampered pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay grapes into this region’s most fabled wines.

Our cycling tour takes in the best of this fascinating region, now a Unesco World Heritage site.Despite the prestige of their vines, the people of Champagne offer a warm, surprisingly easy-going welcome, both in the stylish cities and along the Champagne Routes, which wend their way through villages to family-run cellars and vineyards.

Using the boat as our home base, you can ride on the quiet country roads in this region. If you would like to simply watch the world go by, you can just enjoy your day on board and indulge in the local flavour.
